2. Increase global investment in food systems in the next decade
Significantly raise the level of global investment in sustainable agriculture and food systems in the next decade.

=> Implement and strengthen the existing G8 L'Aquila programmes and commitments to sustainable agriculture and food security, including long-term commitments for financial and technical assistance in food production and to empower smallholder farmers.

=> Enable UNFCCC Fast Start46 funding, major development banks and other global finance mechanisms to prioritize sustainable agriculture programmes that deliver food security, improved livelihoods, resilience to climate change and environmental co-benefits. Such programmes should emphasize improving infrastructure and land rehabilitation
 
=> Adjust national research and development budgets, and build integrated scientific capacity, to reflect the significance of sustainable agriculture in economic growth, poverty reduction and long-term environmental sustainability, and focus on key food security issues (for example, developing nutritious non-grain crops and reducing post-harvest losses).

=> Increase knowledge of best practices and access to innovation by supporting revitalized extension services, technology transfer and communities of practice (for example, North-South, South-South, cross-commodity and farmer-to-farmer exchanges), with emphasis on lowto high-income countries and on women farmers.
